This has been a very good month for us. We have been very very busy, but worked together to keep everything semi sane for everyone.
Jeff's parents came here this last week and we did Christmas for the Keown's a little early. The kids loved it! We had a really good visit except that all the kids got a stomach bug and took turns throwing up all over. Thank goodness for extra help from Jeff's parents.
I started teaching at Fuel Gym here in clarksville. First I was just a substitute and now I am more of a permanent employee. It's great bc/ I bring the kids with me and put them in the day care. Soon I will be looking into getting certified to be a trainer. I did get certified to teach Turbo Kick which was fun and exhausting at the same time. My Brownie troop is getting better acquainted with me and I hope to teach them as much as I can. I also learned how to make the traditional Ingro family cookie , the Goochadadi. The kids got to help of course.
Jeff has been doing really well flying. He is now planning the troops next Hail and Farewell. That is when they say goodbye to those leaving the squadron and welcome in newcomers. It's tradition here in the Cav. We had the 7-17 formal. That was fun! Jeff won a shot gun in a raffle drawing. He got lucky with that one. There was an empty table behind us so as they were calling the winning numbers he grabbed there tickets under the empty table behind us. Guess what? He won and everyone was jealous that they didn't think of it first. Unfortunately our river behind our house was so full that it took away Jeff's Kayak he had back on the river bank. We never thought the river would go up 20 feet.
The kids have been growing and developing as usual this month. Isabella is reading at almost 20 words per minute. She is in Brownies and has learned a lot about traditions and moral values. She starts selling cookies next week. Hint, Hint!
Cole is still a tough boy, but has his sweet moments. He is obsessed with Transformers now. We made him a club house in his walk in closet bc/ they kept making a fort in there so now its more organized and they love hanging out in there.
Chloe is talking like she is a big girl. She copies everything Cole does. Her hair is growing too. I can actually pull it all back. She is such a cute little thing. She still climbs in bed with us in the morning and ask for chocolate milk.
We hope you all are doing well this holiday season and I hope to see or hear from you soon. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too.
